Room to Spread Out

We are just racking up the milestones in the Goulet Household this month. Last night Nathan slept in his own room in his own bed. One thing that I am learning, is that Nathan is super adaptable but his mother is not. Nathan has been sleeping in our room in a cradle by our bed since he was born. This has been nice for me to have him close to get up at night with him. Having him so close has been challenging for us as well because of his LOUD sleeping habits. The other morning we were pushed to the edge when Nathan spent an hour grunting from having gas. He wasn't crying. He wasn't awake. He was just LOUD. After this I knew it was time for Nathan to have his own space where he can grunt to his hearts content without disturbing others.
Back to me not being adaptable. So I decided after much thought to move Nathan into his crib last night. I don't know what happened to me but this made me kind of sad, and I wasn't ready to be totally separated so I slept on the futon in his room. Guess what happened... Nathan woke up at 1am, I fed and changed him. Then he didn't wake up again until 6am! This is the longest that he had ever gone without waking up. Daniel thinks its a sign that we made the right choice moving him. Who knows maybe he was just waiting to have a room to himself.....

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Labor Induction Technique that does work....

Almost from the day that I found out that I was pregnant, I thought that Jesus told me (weird, I know) that baby Goulet was going to come on October 21st. October 21st is also the anniversary of Daniel and I getting engaged. The year that we got engaged October 21st was sweetest day, so Daniel thought that it was a perfect day to get engaged. Even though I have thought that whole time that I would have a baby on the 21st, I am not a patient woman. And I especially do not like surprises, so the suspense of going in the labor was killing me (see previous posts). On the 20 th , in my quest to go into labor I drank Castor oil. Gross I know, but I mixed it with juice and it wasn't bad. I went for me daily walk, and felt nothing. Within a couple of hours, the Castor oil had kicked in. Castor oil in found at drug stores, and is typically used as a laxative. I can now say from personal experience, that it is a good laxative if you would like to completely clean your bowels out...
